Interaction with Other Chemicals Which Enhance Toxicity: Mixing with ammonia, acids, detergents, or organic matter
will release chlorinated compounds, which are irritating to eyes, lungs, and mucus membranes. Chlorine dioxide
vapors are emitted when this product contacts acids, chlorine or bleach.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: May aggravate preexisting conditions such as: Eye disorders that decrease
tear production or have reduced integrity. Skin disorders that compromise the integrity of the skin. Respiratory
conditions including asthma and other breathing disorders. Ingestion may induce G6PD deficiency, hemolysis and
renal failure. G6PD deficiency, hemoglobinopathies, renal compromise, and conditions causing hypoxia may be
aggravated by ingestion of this material.
Protection to First-Aiders: Protect yourself by avoiding contact with this material. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not
ingest. Do not breathe dust. Use personal protective equipment. Refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective
equipment recommendations. At minimum, treating personnel should utilize PPE sufficient for prevention of blood
borne pathogen transmission.
Notes to Physicians: Chlorine dioxide vapors are emitted when this product contacts acids or chlorine. If these vapors are
inhaled, monitor patient closely for delayed development of pulmonary edema which may occur up to 48-72 hours post inhalation. Following ingestion, neutralization and use of activated charcoal is not indicated. Probable mucosal
damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Treat as a corrosive due to the pH of this material. This is also a
strong oxidizer which will react with tissue in the presence of water. For prolonged exposures and significant
exposures, considered delayed injury to exposed tissues. There is no specific antidote. Treatment is supportive care.
Follow normal parameters for airway, breathing and circulation. Ingestion of even small amounts of solution should
be closely monitored for methemoglobinemia, hemolysis, and glutathione depletion, followed by renal failure. This
chemical acts similarly to its related compound chlorate, and produces a drug induced G6PD deficiency. Methylene
blue has not been reported as effective. Consult the PubMed Case Report PMID 22996135 for the case description
and treatment utilized.
